Harry Ramsden's is offering the bargain deal at its Brighton branch, exclusive for takeaway orders.
The offer is part of its "grand re-opening" but customers will have to be quick.
The promotion also marks the launch of their new, "heritage-inspired" menu.
On July 19, at midday, the seafront shop will be serving its "world-famous" fish and chips at the throwback price of 7p.
This deal is takeaway only, with just one portion per person, and a total of 500 portions available.
According to the restaurant, 7p represents the original price for a portion of fish and chips when Harry Ramsden opened his first takeaway in Guiseley, West Yorkshire, in 1928.
In an Instagram post on July 14, Harry Ramsden's said: "We're bringing the golden age of fish and chips to Brighton.
"To celebrate our grand re-opening after a beautiful renovation, and the launch of our brand new, heritage-inspired menu, we're putting the clocks back to where it all began … 1928.
"Join us from midday this Saturday as we serve up our world famous fish and chips for just 7p a portion. Yes, really!
"We're bringing back the original beef dripping recipe that made Harry Ramsden a legend, at the original price."

The post also announced fun activities for those dining in, including a spin-to-win wheel with prizes such as free cocktails, half-price mains, and free desserts.
The popular chain took over the prominent Brighton premises near to the Palace Pier in 2000.
The restaurant closed for almost two weeks in May for renovations that included the installation of several new signs outside the building.
Permission for these external renovations was granted by Brighton and Hove City Council on June 30.
The new exterior is a slightly darker red than before, with white lines now running around the building above the windows.
The main three-storey part of the building is a remodelling of the original Victorian buildings on the site, with facades dating from between 1922 and the late 1930s.
